Hi Ken, I don't know if this will help but .. I have a Soundblaster PCI 128 which works perfectly on my system. I took the board out of the machine and found a Creative es1373 chip. I compiled the kernel with es1371 support, the driver is with the kernel source, and then added the following to /etc.conf.modules alias sound es1371 alias char-major-14 es1371 That's all I had to do. I'm on a slink system with 2.2.12. Ian Stirling
